I have to wonder. I saw a cooking show a few months ago where they did a few
pasta dishes using three different brands. Then they rated the results. The
Barillo came in last every time, and they blamed it on taste and texture. So
that leaves me wondierng, if their regular pasta is bottom of the barrel, why
would their Plus varieties be any good.

I guess the best thing to do is to try it myself. I will have to wait a while. I
stocked up on Unico pasta a few weeks ago. It was on special 49 cents for 2 lb.
bag. At the rate we eat pasta in this house, not often, that may be a long time.
